It is crazy how much better Wired has gotten at political journalism than any of the traditional major outlets, you know we're living in the Cool Zone when Wired, Rolling Stone and Teen Vogue are the brightest lights left in American journalism while WaPo and the NYT are now basically state media
The FBI's Jeffrey Epstein Prison Video Had Nearly 3 Minutes Cut Out
Metadata from the “raw” Epstein prison video shows approximately 2 minutes and 53 seconds were removed from one of two stitched-together clips. The cut starts right at the “missing minute.”

There was an elite consensus against transphobia so strong Texas’ Republican Speaker of the House Joe Straus refused to pass a transphobic law, the public broadly agreed, and then a few elite liberals took it upon themselves to make transphobia popular and more or less succeeded.

There was a time for contemplative discussions of improving aid - and as someone who’s worked in aid, those discussions WERE happening in the sector - but now, after MAGA killed USAID?

Don't let the minimizing fool you - the New York Times was cited SEVERAL times in the full Skirmetti decision, using its trans coverage to justify stripping healthcare from some of the most vulnerable kids in America.
Any claims they have to 'political neutrality' are void at this point.

the argument that it's not life saving is literally that trans people, as an entire unit, cannot be trusted to report whether transitioning improved their quality of life
